DET NORSKE VERITAS A Discussion on the Methods of Fatigue Behavior Improvement by Weld profiling and NDE used for CNOOC Panyu 4-2/5-1 Jackets By Charlie Chin Chan Chong ASQC Certified Quality Engineer, ASNT NDT Level III JM1715, MICorr, SenAWeldI, European Welding Inspector NACE Senior Corrosion Technologist.  A Discussion on the Methods of Fatigue Behavior Improvement by weld profiling for Panyu 4-2/5-1 Jackets Synopsis: This paper presents a discussion on various methods which Contractor may use to perform the weld profiling activities on Designer designated fatigue sensitive joints. Even in the absence of Designer designation, the Welding Inspector should ensure the weld profiles comply with the AWS D1.1 Table 2.7 requirements Level II as a minimum, applies to pre-qualified TKY joints for intermediate and heavy sections where the code requires different level weld profiling. Introduction: For fatigue behavior improvement by weld profiling, it is important that the activities are carried out by the fabricator in correct manners. Following is a write-up summary of API 2A WSD and AWS D1.1 requirements and proposals that may assist the fabricator in achieving this objective. Discussion. The Codes. Acceptable offshore practices usually call for either AWS D1.1 or API 2A WSD requirements on weld profiling. The Designer should specify the applicable code. API 2A WSD Section 11.1.3d was the applicable section called by Designer. API 2A WSD Section 11.1.3d The section stated that where controlled weld profiling has been considered the weld surface should merges smoothly with the adjoining base metal and approximates the concave profile shown in Figure 11.1.3 either as weld or with profile grinding. The required profile check is by a profile disk with diameter equal or greater than the brace thickness and the notches relative to the desired weld profile are considered unacceptable if there is a 0.04?in. (1 mm) gap between the disk of the specified radius and the w
